    I played this Red Dead Redemption 2 as soon as it came out in 2018, and for sure it became one of my favorite games ever. This game is a masterpiece in almost every aspect: graphics, mechanics, storytelling. Rockstar has done it again, always doing a great job! The sentence "Oh, Dutch, I gave you all I had" is stuck in my head till this days

    Una obra maestra. Yo me compré el juego pensando en divertirme y pasarla bien, además de eso recibí una historia muy bien contada, con los personajes mejor construidos que he visto y por último, Arthur el mejor protagonista de los videojuegos, a mi parecer.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve struggled with doing this review for a long time because everyone that I know that has finished the game say it’s a masterpiece and should have been GOTY. The truth is, for me, it just really doesn’t hold up. If you love RDR and think it was a game changer story and gameplay wise, you will see that almost 10 years later, it’s the same game. I’ll try to be brief but consistent with the strengths and weaknesses of the game. Let’s start with the strengths: - Graphics, it does look amazing, but somehow the world didn’t invite to explore (like LoZ: BOTW did; the world Rockstar created didn’t offer a lot of reward for exploring. Just a few Easter eggs or someone to shoot down, nothing intriguing or fascinating, so a no from me. But I can’t deny it doesn’t look **** good. - Character Acting, the actors did a really, and I mean a really good job with acting. - Music, enough said. - Models, lighting and technical stuff. Rockstar obviously know what they are doing, a AAA game should be up to date or maybe set the bar higher, which it did. - Attention to Detail, it is amazing how much stuff you can do in this game. And how much attention to detail went to it, from gun cleaning, to riding horses, to peeing drunk, to the environment, to everything; everything is top notch. Weaknesses: - Controls. Oh boy, my rant about the controls is really something that bothers me. I can’t believe that a game from 2018 has the same controls as GTAIV. IT’S BEEN 10 years Rockstar. It’s clunky, un-smooth, weird, not intuitive and damn right infuriating at times; if I could give 0/10 to something in this game would be the **** controls. It’s just bad, like really bad. - Horse riding. There’s a good percentage of the game that you just go from one location to the other, with no music and no nothing. It’s almost as if Rockstar wanted you to do the cinema mode and watch Arthur ride a horse, also the bad thing is that there’s little to no music while doing this. There were many times were I put my controller down and started looking at my phone. - Story. I know, I know. People love this story, but I don’t. If I wanna play through the story of a cowboy, whose somewhat of a good guy who has done bad stuff, or maybe will do bad stuff to get what he wants, I wouldn’t play RDR2. There’s a far better execution of a similar story, and that’s RDR. At times I knew what was going to happen and I always kinda knew what kind of guy Arthur was. The others members of the gang didn’t really interest me, or I didn’t have any type of investment in them. For me, they were bland and uninteresting; except for Arthur or Sadie. Dutch just kept saying “I have a plan” and the story was “New Camp, don’t do bad things until you did bad thing. Chased, maybe someone died and New Camp”. Rinse and repeat. - AI, or Law system. The game, as other GTA’s tries to tell you that you can do bad things and have fun, you know Rockstar stuff. But in this game even when I wasn’t trying to do bad things or defending myself, I had like 20 lawmen on my ass which was really annoying. Sometimes I couldn’t do a story bit because there was always a witness. Sometimes I would rather not do anything bad at all so I would have to deal with the law after, because in this game it’s really, really annoying killing sheriffs only for far more to appear. - The shooting. It’s helped aim and everything comes down to shooting. You don’t need many guns, just a rifle and a revolver and you can win everything. I didn’t clean my weapons because it didn’t feel necessary, they worked and they got the job done. If you read all that, thank you, in conclusion I just want to say that RDR2 is not a bad game in any means; but it also isn’t ground breaking or offers anything new or better that we haven’t seen before. All that detail to me seems wasted, like you don’t need to eat really, you don’t need to clean your horse or your pistols, you don’t need to hunt or explore. You could just do all the missions and the story would be the same, it seems like Rockstar just put the “open world” to please fans and remind you that Rockstar makes sandbox open world games. Story-wise I thought it was bland and predictable, it had it’s awesome moments but nothing worth remembering. The controls are just a **** mess and hope that they DO understand they need a change for future games. For me it’s a 6/10, this is a world I would not like to revisit, I prefer RDR, BOTW or Horizon. People should really try to keep an unbiased view and play other things before calling them a masterpiece. Hope this review helps you somehow, and if you still want to play the game, I don’t blame you, maybe you’ll have a better time than me. Just wait until it releases on PC or the price is down.… Expand

    Extremely well made game that at times can feel a little too much like a simulator. The amount of time you spend riding your horse across the huge map just to immediately have to go somewhere else after doing one thing is rediculous. The game is beautiful and the story is good, but man can the game drag.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has an interesting story with good characters but is full of strange design choices to make the game artificially slow and clunky. Guns/items are locked behind story progression so you can't buy things listed in stores even though you can afford them. The wanted system seems to be poorly made at times with you selecting one thing and the game doing another or you bump into a corpse and your wanted. All crafting and skinning is slower than it needs to be to make everything feel boring and clunky while pelts,meats stolen caravans and horses seem to be almost worthless for the time involved with stupidly long distances to walk just to hand in a worthless carcass. Random NPC counters can be fun but the developers seem to have coded in passers by for when you want to loot after a quest like people wandering miles fr anywhere in the middle of the night after you've just finished a quest to kill someone purely to get in the way of looting. Just lots of small choices to generally make the game annoying rather than fun for me.

    A masterpiece that won’t be forgotten, Rockstar has done it again! The authenticity and compelling open world western with an amazing story drives this instalment of Rockstar’s to success. A well delivered story and an era-integral sandbox, as well as memorable characters that make the world worth traversing makes this a masterpiece amongst the open worlds. Bravo Rockstar!

    Amazing game, characters and story. It is better than the first one in every aspect. I loved Arthur Morgan and I think he is one of the best characters in videogame history.
    My only issue with this game is that it is way too long and in some parts it can be boring. I would have given this game an 8.5/10 but since I can`t I will round out to a 9.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Note: I'm writing this review several years after its release, but I have recently replayed it.

    RDR2 is one of the few games I have ever been so excited about releasing that I made sure I had it on release day. I spent the next few weeks in my college apartment playing the game - fully immersed in the story and world it created. It helped spark my passion for visiting the western parts of the United States - and took me into a world I could only dream of.

    Gameplay (7/10): Sometimes was a little clumsy, sometimes got stuck in places, sometimes experienced some glitches and bugs. Can't tell you how many times I accidentally shot someone while trying to tuck a gun away or just pull it out to be prepared. Could use some updates and user-friendliness, but nothing I can complain about here. I for one enjoyed the realism - side activities were plentiful (as is standard with Rockstar) - and having to cut hair or eat to survive was understandable. I personally dislike games where health automatically replenishes over time. Also didn't mind riding horses and trains around - for goodness sake its the 1800s - fast travel can wait. As always - Rockstar is king of the hill when it comes to open-worlds - and this one was epic.

    Graphics (10/10): One of my favorite things to do in the game is look up at the night sky on a clear night with no moon and be amazed by the stars and Milky Way. The world was beautiful, filled with lots of different areas to explore and see. Realism abounds, and I still enjoy looking at screenshots from this one.

    Story (9.5/10): A long story, but that was fine with me. As usual Rockstar has many, many, many side missions you can complete, some with a few funny moments and cool experiences. I enjoyed playing these the most on my second play through, as they allowed me to experience the game differently. Like RDR - characters die midway through the game. I loved Arthur Morgan's character (more than John Marsten) and was sad when he left - the storytelling helped show the struggles he faced, and his personal conflicts that made him into a character I loved.

    Some of the missions did seem repetitive in nature, and as the gang was dissolving I wished it could have dissolved quicker - Lord knows I had had enough of Dutch's "one more job" and "have some faith" - but that shows the story was working.    … Expand

    It’s an huge, outstanding piece of art – worth the hard-earned cash as well as countless hours that are needed to get to know at least some of the attractions of Rockstar’s rendition of Wild West. For those who put story first – the biggest virtue of Red Dead Redemption 2 is that it sets the stage for RDR 1 and does it wonderfully. [13/2018, p.40]

    Amazing not only for Western lovers. No other game has probably offered so many options to express yourself in the open world, and at the same time did not have such an interesting, rough and moving story. A magnificent experience, with a slightly slower start. [Issue#291]
